Seasickness - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Try to not constantly be looking down at the water. Look around some toward the horizon or coast so your brain can adjust for all the movement. If you only look down it will make you feel nauseous in a short time. It worse with rough seas.

For some people like me an hour before is too late. I usually take the night before.

I first started taking Dramamine the night before I fished. I then went to an hour before launch. Now I only take when I need it on the water. I also ALWAYS bring some crackers with me. A couple of crackers and sips of water can mellow me out until the feeling passes.

PS. IF ALL ELSE FAILS I JUST HOOK A YELLOWTAIL. MAKES ME FEEL BETTER INSTANTLY.
